The Only Exception

When I was younger, I saw my Daddy cry and curse at the wind
He broke his own heart as I watched, and he tried to reassemble it
And my Mama swore she would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love,
If it does not exist
But darling, you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
And maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul, your love never lasts
And we've gotta find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this, keeping it comfortable distance
And up until now, i''d have sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
'Because none of it was ever worth the risk
But darling, you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
Woah oh
Woah oh
Hey, hey
Oh oh
I've got a tight grip on reality but I can't let go of what's inside of me here
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up,
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, woah oh
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, I'm on my way to believing
